Evans Prairie CC Soft Opening
 
The next country club, Evans Prairie, (south of CR466A off Buena Vista) is scheduled to have a "soft" opening this coming Wednesday, October 24th, at 4 PM. Decor is definitely an improvement over Bonifay and quite upscale. Menu also looks interesting.

To add to the country club opening I heard last night that the opening of the Evans Prairie golf course is slated for Friday November 2nd. The course will be open to golf admin employees only for the 30th & 31st.

What is wrong with Bonifay decor??

Thanks for the info! Golf-tinker, is the menu online, or how did you see it? What was different/interesting on the menu?

Bonifay restaurant is definitely more contemporary laid back and beach type atmosphere than other country clubs within The Villages. This fact doesn't make it good, bad, or ugly except in the eyes of the beholder and peoples preferences. The same goes with the outdoor bar----some like outside and some don't. Within TV its great to have choices!

Dinner was great
 
Went to Evans Prairie tonight with a group for dinner and everyone enjoyed their meals. Interesting layout with the separate dining rooms but plenty of glass doors with views out to the bar and water. Outside patio has pull down screens facing the water along with heaters in the ceiling. Great idea! Staff was very attentive and the menu has a good variety to it. Burgers, sandwiches, pasta, fish, chicken and beef. Happy hour is a bit strange, 2pm to 4pm and 8pm to 10pm. GM from Bonifay is now the GM at Evans.

Neighbors and I went to Evans Prairie tonight. One person had a wrap, another the salmon, and I had the Bruschetta Steak with pasta. All dinners were great!
The menu covers both lunch and dinner. The list of desserts sounded delicious - maybe next time.
:mmmm:

Maybe it's good to have different hours. Many times we've finished golf about 1-2 PM and find out happy hour starts at 3.

We went to Evans Prairie for dinner with another couple. All were happy with their meals. 1, Country Fried Steak, 2, Shephards Pie, 3, Salmon with a Pomegranet chutney, 4, Pork Shank. All served with real mashed potatoes and broccoli and baby carrots. One couple split the Bourbon Pecan Pie and it was huge. One couple split the raspberry sorbet. 2 big scoops. Ate outside. Very pleasant. Fun place and beautiful.

So happy to hear Evans Prarie is off to a good start. Nice to hear some positive things about a country club. Hope they keep up the good work.

Went to Evans Prairie tonight had a nice time. Bar area very nice sat outside which is what I enjoy. Glad to have another watering hole.

At least it will be a place to eat on the trip to or from Brownwood. We were at Brownwood last evening and there was only a handful of people! I can't see much business at the square until there are a few places to eat!
